Lucy The Elephant is in the machine…it's been ripped and torn apart, and then put back together. The road ahead is still a long and treacherous one, but it will be soon. Very soon. I hope that you'll all spare some time to enjoy it.

And now for some uplifting, hope-strangling, ego-wrestling quotes…we love quotes!

"I don't mind that people fish…I mind that they think they're smarter than the fish. We're getting hooked every single day by a bunch of idiots that we elected. The fish didn't elect the fishermen…there's still a very real element of surprise there. In congress, there's no surprise…it's embarrassing."

"A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap." -Mitch Hedberg

"Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic, and so am I."-Oscar Levant
